search-engine

I am thinking of changing my web site's homegrown search engine. Before I break out Visual Studio, I wondered if anyone can suggest an alternative that gives me what I need. This being: Works with an ASP.NET site (is a .NET project) Creates a file-based index Fast search across hundreds or thousands of pages Performs word-stemming to find variations upon words Gives full control over the output styles Is cheap (or better still, free!) The .NET version of Lucene is what we've been using. It meets all of your criteria. You can't really beat Google Site Search for this. It's fully customizable -

I've been wondering about this for a while and I can't see why Google haven't tried it yet - or maybe they have and I just don't know about it. Is there a search engine that you can type a question into which will give you a single answer rather than a list of results which you then have to trawl through yourself to find what you want to know? For example, this is how I would design the system: User’s input: “Where do you go to get your eyes tested?” System output: “Opticians. Certainty: 95%” This would be calculated as follows: The input is parsed from natural language into a simple search

I'd like to internationalize my site such that it's accessible in many languages. The language setting will be detected in the request data automatically, and can be overridden in the user's settings / stored in the session. My question pertains to how I should display the various versions of the same page based upon language in terms of the pages' URL's. Let's say we're just looking at the index page of http://www.example.com/ , which defaults to English. Now if a French-speaker loads the index page, should I simply keep the URL as http://www.example.com/ , or should I have it redirect to

I have a page index.php with 3 Bootstrap tabs in it, and for each tab I am generating its content after user clicks on it. For example: when page is loaded I will execute SQL query that will get data from database only for first tab. when user clicks on the second tab, I am executing a query that will take data and display it in selected tab. Is this good approach? Is Google going too see all that data when it index the page containing all this tabs? I do not want to pull all data at once because of performance issues. Here is my sample code, so please tell me if this is a good approach: index

I am working on a project with a requirement of coming up with a generic dashboard where a users can do different kinds of grouping, filtering and drill down on different fields. For this we are looking for a search store that allows slice and dice of data. There would be multiple sources of data and would be storing it in the Search Store. There may be some pre-computation required on the source data which can be done by an intermediate components. I have looked through several blogs to understand whether ES can be used reliably as a primary datastore too. It mostly depends on the use-case we

I'm looking for a good open source (with LGPL or a permissive license) indexing engine for a node.js application, something like Lucene. I'm looking for in-process indexing and search and am not interested in indexing servers like Sphinx or Solr. I am not afraid to create bindings for a C/C++ library either so I'm open to those kind of suggestions as well. So far I've found node-clucene which doesn't seem to be actively maintained anymore (and has several open issues) I could create my own binding for CLucene but it seems to be quite sparsely maintained and its current version is also quite

I've installed ZendSearch with composer using these commands: $ cd /var/www/CommunicationApp/vendor/ $ git clone https://github.com/zendframework/ZendSearch.git ZendSearch $ cd ZendSearch/ $ curl -s https://getcomposer.org/installer | php $ php composer.phar install And I've installed Zendskeleton according to GITHUB So, I don't know What I'm missing here. Than, in the same book , it teaches how to use ZendSearch, but I'm not getting the same results, instead I'm getting a Fatal error: Fatal error: Class 'ZendSearch\Lucene\Lucene' not found in /var/www/CommunicationApp/module/Users/src/Users

I am building a search engine in python. I have heard that Google fetches the description of pages from the ODP ( Open Directory Project ) in case Google can't figure out the description using the meta data from the page... I wanted to do something similar. ODP is an online directory from Mozilla which has descriptions of pages on the net, so I wanted to fetch the descriptions for my search results from the ODP. How do I get the accurate description of a particular url from ODP, and return the python type "None" if I couldn't find it (Which means ODP has no idea what page i am looking for)? PS
